About World Study

Built by People Who Know What Studying Abroad Can Change

World Study was started by someone who made that decision himself — and it shapes how we guide every family making it now.

Founder & CEO

Faraj Al Mestrah

Faraj started World Study on a simple belief: the students who make the strongest study-abroad decisions aren’t the ones with the most money. They’re the ones with the clearest information.

That belief comes from his own path. He’s currently completing a PhD in Innovation Management at GBSB Global Business School, and holds a Master of Science in Engineering and Industrial Management from Politecnico di Milano.

He’s been the student figuring out a new country, a new system, a new language of paperwork. World Study is what he built so the next student doesn’t have to figure it out entirely alone.

“Studying internationally didn’t just change where I lived — it changed how I made decisions. I built World Study so students get that same clarity, without having to figure it all out alone.”

What We Believe

What Guides How We Work

Fit over sales.

We recommend what actually fits your grades, budget, and goals — not whichever university is easiest for us to place you at.

No promises we can’t keep.

Admission is the university’s decision. A visa is the embassy’s decision. We help you make the strongest, most honest case — and we’re upfront that the decision was never ours to give.

Family in the room.

Most students make this decision with their parents, not despite them. Consultations are open to both.

Mohamed advises World Study on growth, digital direction, and how the site and student experience should feel.

He’s the Founder of Growthino, and holds a Master’s in Communication and Future Marketing from GBSB Global Business School. Like Faraj, his own postgraduate path abroad shapes how he thinks about the decisions students are weighing right now.

“Studying abroad changes how you think and how you work — you learn to figure things out in unfamiliar rooms. That’s the shift I want more students to get the chance to make.”

Does World Study have an office I can visit?

Advisory work runs through online consultations and WhatsApp. Our registered presence is the UK entity and the Beirut branch — we don’t have a public office in every market we serve.

Can you guarantee acceptance, a visa, or a scholarship?

No. Those decisions belong to universities and government authorities, not to us.

Do you only help students from one country?

No. We work with Arab students and families across the region, wherever you’re starting from.
